You are meant to fight over resources, and labs are a resource.
Great, so how do I kick someone elses BPO out a slow then? Oh wait, I can't.
Bzzt! Incorrect, Avon.

I live in a 0.0 with ample research slots.
That's utterly irellevant, because moving T2 BPO's into 0.0 is an unjustified risk to billions worth of assets.

They just need to remove the concept of "type" from labslots.
It's stupid..

No, I did not sell. The difference is you. You used to actually think things through rather than carrying agendas and making nonsense statements (I've ALLWAYS been bitter and twisted in Eve. As you play and your B&T naturally levels up, you notice it more). Did YOU sell?
You're dead wrong here for a basic reason.
It is entirely acceptable and even desireable for T2 goods to be rare. However, basic T1 goods should not be, and research services on these should not be in short supply. That you can also research T2 goods in them is a flaw of the system and does not nulify the point about T1.
In addition, while local shortages are entire acceptable, less that 3-4 open slots in the entireity of high sec Empire for ME research at any given time is what is known as a "farce". There was not a labs shortage, or an ISSUE with there being a sufficientcy of labs, before RMR. Now where is a shortate and a vast issue with them.
If you increase the risks, you simply devalue BPO's in favour of BPC's.
You cannot "control" labs, period. You can't even cancel your own lab usage, ffs. It's not anything PLANNED, it's just a horrible mess which the devs seem intent on making worse (moving back from modern JIT to 1890's (being generous...) parallel production was just silly).
When there can be ACTUAL competition, such as on the market, you're even right. But labs are not something which can realistic be competed for, there is simply a shortage.

Right. Except you mean YOUR take on what made Eve great.
Eve is growing. Eve is changing. And I am purely concerned with the practical technical and social challenges facing Eve.
"The Vision" (TM) brought the world EverQuest. I'll pass.

Surely a cancel button would be a better solution?
Yes! Heck, make the slot unusable for you for 24 hours after you cancel it, and say an hour for corpmates to prevent slot-camping.
A LOT of the long-run BPO's in there right now are in error. (But the they way they have stacked up means that this problem will continue without a cancel button).
Even a cancel button introducted in Blood and taken away in Kali (with appropriate warning) would REALLY help sort at least some of this mess out.

It's very easy to quantify for T1 BPO's.
If it is not ME researched, it is not profitable.
There is a risk of losing your ISK if you take it to low sec.
Thus,
It is better to invest elsewhere as a new player.
